This game is a good game but, it shouldn't have to cost money to get to the other level. It's not that fair, for us. we should be able to play freely, with paying. especially when is such a great game.
horible! the buttons dont even work on laptop and wth is that a cheap copy of a great game!? very well designed? more live very badly designed!!!!
I enjoyed the first chapter but I think its too much to ask to pay money to play a game that you can free anywhere else.
Got this as part of the humble bundle but doesn't work with new phone. It's that good I am happy to pay again
verry good preview, there is no hard puzzles but humor and inteligence of story make pleasent and calm experience.
It was good but why do I have to pay for the rest? Makes no sense and until theres a free version, I aint downloading again.
Incredible story, just wish it would have been updated one last time for level 5
this is a disgrace!,nonsence game!,i cant even play it!,when i open the app,it's going back,at the homescreen
I loved it!!! Well I thought that playing the first chapter will unlock the others but nope.I didn't look at the desc so yeah
So good, but so sad! It's also a really good puzzle kind of thing.
Awful. The game is great but it is impossible on mobile. It won't even let me jump.
I loved it but thay should not call it "free"only one level is free I would have said 0 stares
I like how they tell the story and I like cause its challenging and its so addictive
We have to buy chapters!! The first chapter is free the rest of it is not free. We have to Buy it
Its okay but a nice story and why do I have to buy the full part!!!!!!
How do you beat it? Five spikes on each platform with your waifu on the other side, how the oof do you beat it!?
i gave 4 because its a great game and all but WHY do we have to buy the rest of the chapters but great game
I love it but I don't like the part were it ends because then I have to pay😕
i like it a lot! but i want to play the full game without having to pay
i wish there is a full version but sad i like it so much ill give a five!!!!!
It's nice, but... sad...buuuuuuuuuut! It is beautiful sad and love...
Everything is good until you have to buy the full game. It is worth it tho
It's a great emotional game that also makes for a great excuse to cry
its sweet but also sad but I cannot even make the story continue
it is very emotional and challenging at the same time
wow!and why? this game is so good that I wanna cry this game let me experience some block love that's romantic even though I felt happy and sad at the same time I will give this game a 5 rated star good job at creating this creator and good job with all of those people who rated u(this is her daughter speaking haha)
It was so sad in the end I saw the grey guy with the pink gurl and I can't continue the chapter it needs money:(
Needs to have a free full story most people uninstall because they can't play
well i like it but i want the levels or chapter will be free so yeah
the storyline is amazing ... it makes the game more exciting to play. also, the background music is very suitable to the game, it makes and build up the emotion of the reader or players
